Good Morning America’ from Broadway Increasing the range of experi¬ ence is one of Jan Massey’s top goals for her students.

In years past, Rockingham County Schools have opened the last week of August. Then in return getting out of school around the first week of June, but this year schools will close around the second week of June. The General Assembly passed the law that allows school systems to open later in the year. Because students would not have to be home for school to start, the tourism season lasts longer.
